  1. Insect egg development in a warming world: an eco-evo-devo approach to assess the adaptive potential of wild populations (InsectDevelop)

    Project 2025–2030
    Insect populations worldwide are dramatically declining. Especially insects that overwinter as eggs are in decline, as egg development strongly depends on temperature. To survive climate change, the temperature response of egg development needs to adapt. This project investigates the adaptive potential of wild insects by determining which genes underly how egg development responds to temperature in wild populations. We will investigate 12 different species to determine whether the same genes are involved in different insects. We will use this information to assess whether wild insect populations harbor variation for these genes, which is an important determinant of their adaptive potential.

  7. Studying the hidden world beneath our feet

    Blog PhD in progress
    When we think about agriculture, we usually focus on what grows aboveground: the golden wheat, the green grasslands, and the tractors in the field. But beneath our feet there is a whole hidden world that is just as important. In only 1 gram of soil, there’s more living organisms than people in the world, and together, these complex communities of bacteria, fungi, protists, nematodes, earthworms, microarthropods, and many others, keep soils functioning and productive.

  9. Mycorrhizal fungi in invasion: mycorrhizal response of non-native plant species (6 month minimum)

    Internship
    Are you curious about the role that mycorrhizal fungi play in mediating plant invasions? We are seeking a motivated student to test how plant species change their mycorrhizal relationships from their native to non-native ranges.
